TLDR: Its a mystery to me. I don’t know where HN is sending this from!
This is how my workflow looks like if ‘top story on HN’ then ‘slack me’ Now when I created this workflow, I was expecting to get results when something hits the front page-top news but what I saw was—it giving me news with even 2 upvotes sometimes and that thing wasn’t even there on the first page. Honestly it’s a mystery to me. In fact I even tried comparing ‘new section’ with the results I was receiving and they didn’t match! You can check this on IFTTT hackernews just select top news when creating your workflow. Also what I realized was these news hit the top section a while later the notifications-not all but a lot.
